What we do

Strategy days that actually land

A great strategy day isn’t just about filling in a template. It’s about creating the conditions for your board or business leadership team to have the conversations that matter most, and walking out with decisions everyone owns.

At Value Creators, we design and facilitate strategy days that are tailored to your organisation’s context, culture, and the management systems you already use. The outputs don’t sit in a drawer, they flow directly into how you run and measure your business.

You have an annual strategy review process
You want to refresh or sharpen your current direction
Your board or leadership team need to align on priorities for the year ahead
You want outputs that connect to your KPI and management system
You need an independent voice to hold the space and keep things moving
Our Approach

Great facilitation starts well before the day

The best strategy days are designed around the people in the room, and the systems the organisation already relies on. Here’s how we work.

1

Pre-day preparation

Lyndal meets individually with each attendee before the session. These one-on-one conversations surface what matters most to each person, ensure every voice is heard from the start, and allow the program to be shaped around the group’s real priorities , not a generic agenda. We also review your current strategy, KPI reports, and management system so the day’s outputs connect seamlessly with how you already operate.

On the day

  • A psychologically safe environment where every participant contributes equally
  • Structured facilitation that moves from reflection to decision, without getting stuck in debate
  • Use of strategic tools to frame priorities clearly
  • Whole-group discussion, paired reflection, and interactive activities
  • Governance lens to maintain the discussion at the strategic level

Post-day outputs

The real test of a strategy day is what happens after it. We produce outputs formatted to load directly into your existing management system, so the decisions made in the room become part of how you measure and run your organisation, without any translation or rework.  If you don’t yet have a strategic management system, we can also help implement that to ensure progress of the organisation.
The Day

A clear arc from review to decision

The program follows a proven strategic arc: Where are we now → Where do we want to be → How do we get there. The structure below is indicative for a half-day session (4–5 hours) and is tailored for every client.

Results that speak for themselves

Lyndal was an excellent facilitator. She was well-prepared, had excellent understanding of our organisation and was able to draw out productive conversation. We were empowered and inspired through our time with her.
It was really useful to clarify our mission and decide what the most important next steps are.
Thanks Lyndal, it was a really great workshop and we are referring to the Strategy Canvas you compiled regularly.
